Many prayers needed...

Very sorry to hear this. Will pray for your family. God Bless.

My Mother-in-Law was just Dx'd with untreatable lung cancer. She just turned 61. You're not alone. Hang tough for your mom.
 
Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support. I can't tell you all how much this means to me. May God Bless each and every one of you, and your families as well. I wouldn't wish this to happen to my worst enemy. I hope and pray no one ever has to go through this, and I thank God each morning for giving me, and my family the strength that we need to get by each day, and making my mother stronger as well.

She has been walking more, and more each day. Trying to get her to eat more, but that happens in time. We just feel so bad because they are giving her something to take each hour, and it's making her sick to her stomach. She still has her sense of humor though. She even kicked my Aunt out yesterday which means she is back to her old self. (My Aunt can be a bit of a nag!)

I got there after work yesterday, and stayed till about 1am. She had me rubbing her swollen legs and feet, and then fell asleep on me. As soon as I stopped she woke up, looked at me, and said "Who told you to stop?". She cracks me up.

The surgeon called me this morning, and told me she is recovering very well, and that with each person it takes time. My mom felt better knowing that. She was afraid they would send her home even if she still wasn't feeling well. It's her foreign mentality. I told her she can stay as long as she needs.

Today she will have another surgey to put in a port for her Chemotherapy. We will meet with the Oncologist as well to get more details about the treatment she will be getting, and of course the side effects, and what not. Last night was the first night I didn't cry. I just prayed and prayed until I fell asleep. It's so hard on all of us. We hate seeing her hurt, or in pain, and her patience is wearing thin...we can't blame her. I told her I would have lost my mind days ago, and I'm so proud of her and admire her strength. She says it's all in God's Hands, and that he gives her the strength and will to keep going. I also mentioned she had no choice but to get better because I won't have it any other way.

Thanks again to all of you so very much. For the calls, and texts, and support, and prayers.

my prayers are with you. I was in your shoes 2 years ago with my mom and breast cancer. I hope everything goes okay.
 
This is so terrible, I didn't know you posted this so I still wasn't sure what was going on. As you know of my godmother in battling cancer also. :( I hope for the best for you and your family.
 
My mothers surgery went very well yesterday, and her recovery is coming along great. They put in her port yesterday, and she is finally able to rest, and get some sleep. She was in a lot of pain, and had major heartburn, but all that is taking care of itself. She looked awesome yesterday, color in her face, and such a great attitude. We are all so grateful, and continue to pray for her each and every minute of each and every day.

I wanted to take the time to thank you guys all so much for your words, and support, as well as your prayers. I also wanted to personally thank Justin (Jsxtreme) and Sarah (QwerkyMerk) for the care package they put together, and dropped off last night at the hospital. Words can't express how much that meant to me, besides the fact they maybe you guys think I have bad hygiene. (Mints, Gum, and Shower Gel) LOL! You guys really did not have to do that, but my family thanks you with all our hearts.

May God continue to bless you all, as well as my family.

Eileen im sooo glad she is in good spirits and recovering well! No prob about the care package, just shave your legs. lmao!!!
 
It's official! My mom was discharged today!

Thank you all again very much for the prayers, and lets keep them coming so she can beat this battle, and win the fight against Cancer.

We are scheduled to start her treatment of Chemotherapy on the 15th if she is strong and well enough.

Love you all,
Eileen
